Covid-19 lättnad WA Health Plan Expansion for DACA Recipients People with certain immigration statuses now qualify for more savings Due to a recent federal change , Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and other people with qualifying immigration statuses can now access increased federal savings through Washington HealthplanfinderTM as of Nov. 1, 2024. These savings significantly lower costs for most — many customers can find a health plan for less than $10 per month. Who qualifies? Immigration statuses include: DACA recipients Valid nonimmigrant visa-holders People with a pending application for adjustment of status People granted employment authorization Family Unity Program beneficiaries Special Immigrant Juveniles with approved petitions Certain asylum applicants under age 14 How can someone get their new savings? Any household member affected by the recent change needs to select “Yes” to the question, “Is this household member lawfully present in the U.S.?” in their Washington Healthplanfinder application. Those who may be affected (current customers and people who recently applied to Washington Healthplanfinder) were notified of the change in their preferred language. Assisters are also reaching out to people with qualified statuses who they previously helped.

Medicaid has provided vital health care to over 80 million Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and many within our AANHPI communities. In Washington State alone, nearly 2 million people rely on Apple Health (the state's Medicaid program). On July 4th, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed, cutting almost $1 trillion from Medicaid. The Bill also curtails provider taxes, meaning states have to make a difficult choice: make cuts to other services (such as education) or raise taxes, or make even deeper cuts to Medicaid. Governor Ferguson's office estimates at least 250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid Coverage . Read the Health Care Authority report below for more information.

Våra policymål I år tror APIC att följande policyagendor kommer att vara viktiga för att förbättra livet för API-gemenskaper i delstaten Washington: Upprätthålla finansieringen för LEP Pathways The Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways primära mål är att främja ekonomisk självförsörjning för flyktingar och invandrare genom arbetsträning, klasser i engelska som andraspråk (ESL), arbetsstöd och sociala tjänster. Genom att behålla finansieringen för LEP Pathways-programmet kan vi bättre stödja låginkomsttagare och begränsade engelsktalande invandrare. Upprätthålla finansieringen för naturaliseringstjänster Naturaliseringstjänster hjälper flyktingar och invandrare, främst de som är funktionshindrade och äldre, att få medborgarskap genom hjälp med att fylla i USCIS N-400 naturaliseringsansökan och begäran om avgiftsbefrielse, klasser i amerikansk historia och samhällskunskap och intervjuförberedelser. Genom att upprätthålla finansiering för naturaliseringstjänster kan vi bättre betjäna invandrare och flyktingar i vår stat. Säkerställa och upprätthålla COFA-sjukvård och tandvård Washington State COFAs medicinska program tillhandahåller nödvändig hälso- och tandvård till COFA-medborgare som har uteslutits från att få tillgång till federala hälsofördelar. Medan kongressen nyligen har antagit lagstiftning för att återställa Medicaid-berättigande för COFA-migranter, måste Washington State se till att täckning tillhandahålls tills kulturellt och språkligt genomförande är slutfört. Att ge hjälp till Washingtons papperslösa arbetare Papperslösa Washingtonbor som har exkluderats från befintliga arbetslöshetsersättningar och federala stimulanspaket har drabbats särskilt hårt under covid-19-pandemin. Oavsett om det är genom ett tillfälligt nödprogram som utökar arbetslöshetsberättigandet eller mer expansiv finansiering genom Washington Immigrant Relief Fund, förtjänar alla arbetare lättnad oavsett immigrationsstatus. Enacting a Recovery Rabate , en uppdaterad version av Working Families Tax Credit En återvinningsrabatt skulle sätta pengar tillbaka i fickorna på människor med låga inkomster, inklusive invandrararbetare som orättvist har uteslutits från andra federala skatteförmåner. En kontant stimulans riktad till hushåll med låga inkomster skulle också säkerställa att förmånerna riktas till de hushåll som drabbas mest av Washingtons regressiva skattelagstiftning. Utöver våra lagstiftningsprioriteringar har APIC alltid höjt behovet av investeringar i vårt samhälle genom kapitalprojekt. I år ber vi om stöd för följande kapitalprojekt: Asia Pacific Cultural Center United Communities of Laos Cultural Center AIPACE Vi kommer att uppdatera denna sida senare med länkar för att donera.

Pew Research: When surveying small populations, some approaches are more inclusive than others Survey researchers increasingly recognize that a single survey of the general public can rarely represent the views of small groups of Americans. Such surveys frequently have too few interviews with certain populations – such as smaller religious or racial or ethnic groups – for those voices to be heard. Read more Pew Research: The Asian American Experience In the fall of 2021, Pew Research Center undertook the largest focus group study it had ever conducted to hear Asian Americans talk about their lived experiences in America.

Vårt uppdrag Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) är ett statligt nätverk av samhällsorganisationer som ägnar sig åt ras och ekonomisk rättvisa för alla asiater och Stillahavsöbor i solidaritet med svarta, bruna och ursprungsbefolkningen. Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) skapades efter att 1996 års Welfare Reform Act avsevärt påverkade och minskade icke-medborgares federala berättigande till offentliga stödprogram. Efter att ha insett behovet av en kollektiv röst som förespråkar rättigheter och rättvisa för utrikesfödda asiatiska och Stillahavsöbor (API), började APIC lobba för att Washington State lagstiftande församling skulle ta itu med klyftan som skapats av federal lagstiftning. Med utgångspunkt i detta arv samlar APIC Chapters från King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima och Spokane counties och South Puget Sound varje år invandrare, flyktingar och medborgare från staten Washington för att träffa guvernören, delstatsrepresentanter och delstatssenatorer för att förespråka för de frågor som har störst inverkan på våra samhällen Våra medordförande Lin Crowley lincrowley@gmail.com Brian Locke brian_locke@comcast.net
